This Aramaic demonstrative particle functions like Hebrew 'behold,' directing attention to something noteworthy. In Daniel's fiery furnace narrative, it introduces the king's shocked observation: a fourth figure walking in the flames with the three condemned men. The particle's force is immediate and dramatic—'Look!' or 'See!'—expressing Nebuchadnezzar's astonishment. In Aramaic, it often prefixes pronouns for emphasis (as in the common phrase 'behold, that one'). This single biblical use captures a moment of divine intervention made visible.
